Not user friendly Needs a UI redesign. Need to fix auto redirect to mobile site versions of articles that don't allow font size increase by user.

What's up with the ads??? All the sudden now I cannot read articles from this app because I cannot get to them before a pop up takes over and takes me to a page that says I've won! Matt I trust your news and add ounces but this is unacceptable. Change it and I'll rate 5 stars. Otherwise I'll just delete and go to the Web where I can block all these silly ads.

Ads and constantly refreshing Every minute Drudge refreshes...so annoying. Also you never know when ads will take over the screen on the mobile app, and the "home" button just loads a different ad. Sometimes when I first open the app...but often on a stupid refresh. Mostly annoying scareware crap. OMG I have a virus!!!!!!!!!!!!! Going back to using Chrome. (Still won't fix the super annoying Drudge refresh)

Love drudge report, but some issues with the app Clearly the drudge app is being attacked by a virus. The app continually is taken over by some fake anti-virus message. Definitely need an upgrade on how user-friendly the app is and its cyber security. Otherwise I love the Drudge report itself!

Unsure what happened but app is unusable now I've been using this app a long time now but recently I've noticed more and more difficulties using the app. Upon entering the app and getting to the main screen, I am immediately redirected to an ad that I can't close. After exiting the app and re-entering I am taken back to that ad. I can't read any of the articles anymore because of this. Hence, this app is currently unusable, please fix!

Get rid of the Uber ad Cannot get to the DrudgeReport screen. As soon as I get there it goes to a Google Play ad for Uber and the back button won't take me back. The home button will go to the home page but only momentarily before jamming you back to the Uber ad. Please fix this.

SPAM Middleware So I get a brand new phone and install Drudge as the first and only app. And instantly I start getting the chrome 13 virus bullshit. Fix your crap Matt!!! I'm uninstalling for now.

Pop ups Between the hijacking pop ups and page refreshing every 2 minutes this app is total crap. You can't even read the headlines before the page refreshes or an ad hijacks your phone and doesn't allow you to go back to news page. Best news source, worst app now.

Take over Ads.... What the f**k is the deal with the take over ads?!? Who the f**k thought this was a good idea? Is this how you guys do business? Jesus Christ, I just want to read your stories. Why would you put this s**t between me and your site?

Virus pop ups! When I open this app a window covers my screen saying I have a virus. Of course I know its fake but wtf. Also the constant refreshing that takes you back to the homepage is super annoying.

1 star ratings ☆ I been checking the app out after seeing all the 1 star ratings. They are BS, surely politically motivated. This is a great app and it has links to 100 news sites so you can check out what the other sites are saying. Yes there is a link to Fox news, but also CNN, Huffington post, all types of news sites, left or right and independent news sites. Many alternative news sites. GREAT APP, try it, and you won't see pop up ads, none of the other stuff people write about the app, they just haters,

Complete crap The application is a complete crap, crashes very often, reloads whenever it likes. ....I used 10% battery trying to open an article from drudge without success. ... very frustrating. ..do not recommend!

Refreshes every 30 seconds!! It takes forever to load the site and when you finally manage to get it loaded it refreshes every 30 seconds. It didn't used to refresh this quickly in the past. This app is turning to crap. I'm running on a 15 megabits per second internet and it still takes forever to load and it takes forever to refresh interrupting every 30 seconds. Moving to an alternative reader that doesn't refresh as often. If I wanted to refresh it every 30 seconds, I can hit the refresh button. You need to disable auto refresh.

Fake virus pop-up & too frequent refresh. Refreshes too frequently, interrupting reading. But biggest issue is how it always seems to get a fake virus pop-up that is so frequent, you can barely even begin to read headlines.

Works fine. No pop-ups I don't know what kind of crack the other reviewers are smoking. Perhaps they are liberals trying to bring down a fine application. I have it installed on my Samsung Galaxy S6 and the only add on the page is at the very top just like on the website. I am getting no warnings no invasive pop ups no adds or any other issues. I don't know what everyone is complaining about they have to be fake complaints from very bitter people, who can't stand an opposing viewpoint.

Shame on Drudge Simplicity of design might work for the website, but a mobile app demands a little more design work. This app doesn't even save the story you are reading if you have to minimize the app. It always takes you back to the Drudge Report page. I am going to try one of the other Drudge apps and see how they work. It won't be hard to beat this official one. I think Matt Drudge is great, but he should truly be ashamed of this half-assed attempt at an app. Surely he can do better, his readers deserve it.

THE ADS BEGAN A HOSTILE TAKE OVER OF MY PHONE Sorry, I have to unistall this as within 2 minutes after installing it. Please stop the SPAM ATTACK. I Couldn't access Drudge it was that bad, and I love Drudge.

Pure Garbage Used to work great, not it is full of so adware items you can't even open it. If for some reason you are able to get to the actual Drudge site it reloads so often you can't scroll the articles. Uninstalling.

Ads are rediculous Every rime I open this the report loads and then is replaced with some bs ad for free crap or a virus scan. The report auto refreshes like every 5 seconds and makes me want to throw my phone. If I get a text the page homes and reloads even when reading an article. Wish I could give zero stars. Do away with the ads.

Popup Ads Block App Love Drudge. Hate this app right now. For the past week the same popup ad comes up shortly after startup, completely blocking the screen. There is no way to dismiss or report the ad in-app. Will try a different app.

Crap App Which is Too Bad, Great Site App is buggy. Won't even open on my Motorola Droid Maxx after last update! When app closes, instead of reopening where app closed, it reopens at home screen. Very annoying!

Invasive ads I get full screen virus warning ads that prevent me from reading the articles, the app often blanks out and reloads, and is very downloading even with wi fi on a phone with 3 g ram and no other open apps. Uninstalled.

One of the worst designed apps I've seen Continually pulls you out of any article you're reading and reloads the Drudge page. A high percentage of the links will not even open before this pull happens. C'mon Drudge make a real app already!

Ads and Back button Use to be OK app to read Drudge. Just sucks now. Ads Pop up all the time, page refreshes constantly. Worse Back button design ever. Developers need to go back and re-do this train wreck.
